Heavy Makeup Can Add Years to Your Look which is something most people want to avoid
Today we are going to be looking at How Heavy Makeup Can Add Years to Your Look
Heavy Makeup Can Add Years to Your Look, we are going to be looking what to avoid to stop this from happening.
It”s very easy to forget that as we age you can’t get away with wearing heavy makeup. Less is more when it comes to makeup as you age. Nothing ages an older woman faster than loads of eye makeup. And unless you’ve had blepharoplasty (an eye-lift), too much thick, black eyeliner and heavily pigmented shadows will add years to your look and magnify those hooded lids and crow’s feet. Wearing eye liner on the inner rim of your eyes also ages you as well as making your eyes look smaller.
So what can we wear as we get older? well we can still wear eye shadow and liner ect but you need to adjust the amount of makeup you wear and change some of the colours. Steer clear of dark colours. They only make the eyes appear more sunken in and heavy. The key here is to open up your eyes and to create a refreshed, bright look.
You can still use glitter and shimmer but use sparingly as it can actually amplify fine lines and wrinkles, but a light colour on your lid with a hint of shimmer at the inner corner of your eye immediately opens the eyes. Use a matte shadow for your crease. as anything with shimmer or iridescence will only highlight a drooping crease,which we are sure is not the look you want.
When it comes to eyeliner keep it soft, use a kohl pencil or powder rather than harsher liquids and pens. You can still use black but a charcoal, brown or dark purple will be more flattering.
For both eyeliner and mascara, stay on top, as anything on the bottom of the eye is going to close it in and potentially illuminate any darkness you concealed earlier. Blend your eyeliner out with a brush or cotton bud which will soften it and gives the illusion of a fuller lash.
When applying mascara there is a trick to brushing it on that can open the eyes further. Start at the base of your lashes, and brush your outermost lashes out in the direction of your temple. On your middle lashes, brush them straight up, and finally for your inner lashes, brush them up toward the center of your brows (right above the bridge of your nose). This will open your eyes up and helps lengthen your eyelashes.
When applying make up to the face remember to go light on your skin! Try a mineralized powder or a cream foundation, and for blush, choose a soft, matte one, again, this is because shimmer enhances lines and dark shades are instantly aging, so bear this in mind when it comes to your lips, the thinner your lips, the lighter the lipstick should be. Deep, bold shades will make them look even thinner, while a soft, neutral lip liner and lip colour can temporarily plump them up. Complete your makeup with a finishing mist, which will leave you with that gorgeous, dewy youthful glow.
Heavy Makeup Can Add Years to Your Look but hopefully with above advice that won’t be you.
